The Independent SAYS that two
men last week were killed by foul air
in mining shaft, eight miles from
Paris, in this Territory. The owners,
three brothers, discovered tine pres
ence of the deadly gas willie timber
ing the mine, and ascending let down
fire in bucket which they kept burn
ing two or three DAYS. Then one OF
them was let down to see if the shaft
was clear. In short time he signal
ed to be drawn up, the men at the
windlass responded, and when he had
been raised twenty-five feet the un.
fortunate man was overcome with the
foul air and fell from the bucket to
the bottom. Alarmed at this one Of
the brothers went to the house of
Humburg, two miles distant. Hum
burg went to the rescue and was let
down, and getting 10 signal and hear
ing groans, the men at the surface
went all the way to Paris for help.
On the arrival of citizens the rope
was hoisted, when Ludlum, the first
man who went down, was found fas-
tened tc it and dead. Humburg had
tied the rope around his thigh and a
half hitch under his arms, but before
he could give the signal to hoist he
also succumbed to the fatal air. The
rope was again let down with ice
hooks attached, and Humburg was
grappled aud brought to the surface
He, too, was Gead, having lost his life
IN the attempt to save another. The
shaft was 1S5 feet deep.

THE ALASKA SEAL FISHERIES.

THE TRIBUNE has had something to say in
the past concerning the protection of our Alas
kan seal fisheries much to the disgust, it
would seem, of the Administration. Friends of
Secretary Bayard have not hesitated to rush
into print to accuse The TRIBUNE of interested
criticism. The correctness of this papers atti-
tude has been variously indicated but in
addition to what has heretofore been SAID at
tention is called to an interview with Mr.. T.. C..
Shuyne, the well known dealer in furs in this
city. printed on the twelfth page. Mr. Shayne
disclOses and gives his reasons therefor. that
unless this country interferes to protect Alas
kan seal fisheries from British intrusion the
whole business will be speedily ruined, and the
Alaska Company, to which the fisheries are
leased. will be wrongfully broken up.
In connection with this subject. it should be
stated that The London Times published an article
the other day, rdiculing the American claim Of
jurisdiction in the Bebring Sea. but admitting
that the fshere, would be destroyed unless
alleged American rights were maintained. In
view Of all these circumstances, it is high time
that Secretary Bayard should let the country
know what his intentions are. At present his
whole policy is hidden IN obscrrity.

4 PHILOSOPHER CONE MID.

Mr.. Swinburnes lyrical lampoons against
Mr.. Gladstone have been generally condemned
in England Poetic license, it is held, cannot
be pleaded in justification OF coarse insults
and partisan savagcry. These are times OF
heated controversy. and many Of the coolest
and sanest Englishmcn are writing prose about
the Liberal leader that is every whit as violent
and as brutal as Mr. Swinburnc's verse. When
tho Home Rule bill was first brought forward
by Mr.. Gladstone, the angricst and most I'M
reasonable of his critics we're two OF the fore
most men in the English scientific world, Pro-
fcssors Huxley and Tyndall. Professor Hulk
Lewis passion has apparently subsided since
his bout with the many-sided contrOvcrsialist
over Genesis and geology, but his distinguished
colleague still RACES and imagines vain things.
Professor Tyndall contributes TO The st.
James's Gazette some reflections On the Irish
situation which forcibly remind us of Mr..
Swinburnc's lampoons. The same spirit OF
ferocious partisanship inspires prose and verse
alike Mr.. Gladstone is denounced by one and
the other rs a blood-stancd miscreant and ir-
responsible demagogue.
Professor Tyndals TRADE is interesting as
an illustration of the sinister effects Of politi-
cal excitement caused by schism in the Liberal
party and the courageous attempt Of great
statesman to settle the Irish question. What
must be the feeling among ordinary politicians
and the English masses in general when man
of phiosophic gravity and the highest intel
lcctual attainmcnts confesses that he cannot
hear the phrase " our venerable leader" without
experiencing "moral nausear Mr. Gladstone
